Craig 7822 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 In the context of the article they're doing - the 'sensible transfer', I sort of understand how they've come to that decision. Doesn't mean I agree with it though, I'd definitely go for Diaby ahead of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinofbeans 91 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 agreed on that, though context wise, Pulisic is an upgrade on Almiron and Fraser. Fraser can perform on both wings, and i reckon after a half season with the decent coaches we use, i would expect him to be better. But they are right we do need an upgrade on a traditional right wing player. and a top quality right footed centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 8175 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I have wondered who Howe will start with in central defence. I have a feeling it'll be Schar on the right and Botman on left side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 11523 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 On 10/07/2022 at 09:39, Polarboy said: Duvan Zapata, the Columbian centre forward from Atalanta that we were linked to in January, is supposedly available for 15m. Can't see it happening now, assuming we were ever even interested. He's 31 so I can't see us paying that for another striker the wrong side of thirty, and he's unlikely to want to come and play understudy, support to Wilson. I mean unless Howe changes formation, or puts Wilson wide right of a front three, he's more than capable of playing there. The question is what's Zapata's injury record like, how reliant is he on his pace, and how much if any has he lost given his age. They're not the profile of attackers we're presently looking for, but Paqueta and Zapata could actually work in terms of adding the goals we need with a bit of tactical tweaking. Expand Here's a player, now here's all the reasons why we shouldn't sign him. Good work Polarboy, ya big Jabroni. On 10/07/2022 at 10:26, Alex said: The reaction if get both though. if he’s available I think we can’t let the opportunity pass. I’m also not convinced that certain hacks bandying about stuff about FFP restrictions know what they’re on about. Also where are the sanctions against clubs like Chelsea and Everton who consistently flaunt the rules? Expand This is why I didn't believe any shit about our transfer budget. We're in the enviable position of having the funds and the FFP wiggle room to buy players who're interested and available. Plus because of the neglect to the squad for fucking ages, most of the new signings know they're likely joining as first team regulars. Honestly, I think the only things slowing us down are getting shot of the deadwood like Gayle, Clark etc. and we're not going to be taken for fools by clubs or agents e.g. Ekitike. If Paqueta and Diaby are available at the right price and want to come, we could definitely buy both. Since Oct 21 we've spent £190m on players with 4-5yr deals (bar Trippier and Wood). So we've still a fair amount of wiggle room in FFP terms. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, seems fairly clued up. Normally his stuff is in line with the other well-known football finance guy, Kieran Maguire. Maguire has recently said that we'll need to be careful about FFP when it comes to UEFA competitions. New rules brought in recently mean that spending is more linked to turnover than it's ever been. Another example of UEFA cowed by the entrenched elite who're trying to bring up the drawbridge. Quote Clubs competing in European competitions were previously allowed to lose no more than £25m over a rolling three-year assessment period. But the new system limits clubs to spending no more than 70 per cent of their turnover on wages, transfers and agent fees. Expand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
